Position Overview
We are seeking motivated college interns to join the team at A.I.R. Gallery, the longest-running alternative space for women artists, this summer. Interning at A.I.R. provides an opportunity to gain experience in all aspects of managing an arts organization and gallery space.

These projects will provide interns with experience to help them determine which aspects of arts administration excite them and what future opportunities they would like to pursue.
